I just finished Yurikuma Arashi and wanted to do some fanart, and I thought of this ee cummings poem I've always liked, for some reason! So this might be a kind of experimental piece.

Sketch

So here's a sketch and some rare hand lettering (I'm trying to do more of that, although my penmanship leaves something to be desired, huh). I might tweak this sketch since I have a bad habit of only doing thumbnails in my head (ie not doing them).

Sketch 2

The Artist has asked for critique!

The second pass is looking good! I like how you increased the size of the flower and the animal (I'm sorry I haven't watched the show! yet!), it definitely draws the eye more!

The poem is a cool idea too! It seems a bit out of place visually, maybe it would help to lower it or increase the size of the text to fill in the gap between the hands and the poem? Or maybe even add to the text itself... like add flowers to the i's or decorate the text with a border or something! Just brainstorming things that might help tie the text visually to the rest of the image.

I see the petals of the flower seem to have all their tips tuned to the same direction, I would change that a bit. Also the top petal could be more centered, filling the gap in the top right section of the flower. Other than that, the jojo comment covers the text bit. Good work, I'm eager to see the rest.
